Ghana joins Africa’s nuclear race, set to begin construction of first nuclear plant

Ghana plans to begin construction of its first nuclear power plant by 2027 to diversify its energy mix.

Two sites have been identified for the facilities, with one hosting a larger power plant and the other a smaller industrial facility.

The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition is currently preparing, including acquiring the land for the projects.

Ghana’s nuclear initiative aligns with Africa’s broader trend toward adopting nuclear energy to remedy power deficits.
